Borrow against AVNT
Teller pools accept AVNT, whose contract reads Avantis, as collateral on Base at up to 20% LTV, lending USDC at 25% APR. The pool values collateral from a price feed once, at origination, after which the loan is a fixed dollar obligation. Every loan is fixed-term with no margin-call, so a price fall during the loan cannot liquidate your collateral.

How the pool decides what your collateral is worth
A ceiling is a percentage, so something has to turn your token balance into a dollar figure before it can be applied. The pool reads a price feed at the moment you borrow, multiplies, applies the ceiling, and that is your maximum loan.
The important part is when it reads. The valuation happens once, at origination. After that the loan is a fixed obligation in dollars and the feed no longer matters to it, which is what “no liquidation threshold during the term” means in practice: there is nothing left for a price to trigger.
On a venue that liquidates, the feed is consulted continuously and a bad print can close a position that was never actually underwater. Here a bad print can only affect a loan that has not opened yet.
Quote before you commit
Because the valuation is a snapshot, the number you are quoted is the number you get, and it moves between one visit and the next. If the amount matters, take the quote and sign in the same session rather than working from a figure you read earlier.
The borrow form also leaves a small margin below the ceiling rather than filling it exactly, so a price tick between quoting and signing does not push the request over the pool’s limit and fail the transaction.
Avantis, and the terms
The contract at 0x696f9436b67233384889472cd7cd58a6fb5df4f1 names itself Avantis and reports a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000. The pool clears 20% of collateral value at 25% APR, lending USDC on Base.
Deposit AVNT, receive USDC, repay or roll on the due date. Every loan is fixed-term with no margin-call, so a price fall during the loan cannot liquidate your collateral. Miss the due date and the collateral is forfeit. Base gas is cents on both transactions.
AERO is the other Base exchange token here, and the Base list has the rest.
